I went out for my morning run and stopped by the Magic Bean on the way back. This was apparently a dangerous thing to do as I tried the new Chocolate Hexpresso Shot. It was so good I had to try a second shot... and a third. I think it was good a stopped there, but only because the lady next to me was on her fifth and suddenly made a very hurried movement towards the loo. A few moments later I had an idea why because I was beginning to feel a bit tiny bit unsettled. It was good to slow it down at three I think.
The upside of this is that my entire to-do list for the day appears to have been accomplished plus a decent start on tomorrow's to-do list.
[Warded to Milly]Want to join me for a Chocolate Hexpresso tomorrow morning before I have to go to work? We can help ourselves keep to two each.

So there are two days left until Christmas really considering that today is nearly past. I suppose that means I really ought to start doing my Christmas shopping hm?
[Private]So George is married and Ginny is engaged and that basically leaves me the only Weasley child not permanently -- or very nearly so -- attached. I've got Milly, of course, but I do feel it's too soon to see that as a permanently attached thing. I like her a great deal and certainly enjoy hanging out with her but...
What is the but? I do feel as if there is one and I don't actually think it has much to do with her. I think it might have to do with me, really but I'm not even certain what the hang up is. As old as I am, and Merlin I just got older didn't I?, I ought to be less bothered by the idea of settling down. I've spent enough years in the wilds of Romania living in bachelor pads on the edge of civilization. I shouldn't feel trapped at all by the idea of a cozy flat here in England.
And I don't. Except for when I do.
[Friends & Family]What are the new year's options? I don't plan on being boring this year.

So I believe there is an event to celebrate tomorrow. What would you say to dinner in the evening?

[Warded to Ginny]I'm thinking I should say congratulations in a more specific way since I'm pretty certain I missed saying that before.
I'm thinking maybe I should just buy a nice pair of dress robes here.
[Warded to George]Definitely feeling a bit single all of a sudden.
How goes the wedding preparations?
[Warded to Milly]Coffee tomorrow night?

[Warded to Milly]You know, if you meet my family -- and by that I mean really meet my family not just know them casually -- and run the opposite direction I don't think I'm going to be able to blame you much for that.
On a more practical note, camping supplies and such. I think I'll be able to get a tent from one of my brothers, but I was thinking I might just go buy my own sleeping bag and I don't know what else might be needed. Thoughts?

[Warded to Weasleys, blood, adopted, etc]I don't suppose anyone has camping equipment I could borrow for a weekend? I could go shopping, but you know, I figure saving some money wouldn't be a bad thing.

Two morning runs down now to just keep it up. I'm actually thinking it might be time for some hiking and trails before it gets impossibly cold. Just got to sort where first.
[Warded to Ginny]I haven't heard from you, so I'm hoping that means Mr Potter is safe and there's no need for me to go hit him or something manly and protective.
[Warded to Mum]Pretty certain I said this, but with all the excitement the other day I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday again. And part of the present I didn't add on -- if/when you need something done around the house give me a call and I'll be over to work on it.

It's a bit sad when one is outdone by one's younger sister. That said, the Olympics reminded me that I need to be running more frequently so I've started that this week. Granted, more frequently is four times a week rather than twice, but that's a start, and we'll see if I can move it up a bit more this week. It should definitely be a worth while activity.
[Warded to George]So how does it feel to be deemed sexy enough to purchase?

I'm a bit embarrassed to confess that I've clearly not been keeping up with exercise as well as I should have. This training bit for all these Olympics has reminded me of that fact all too well.

I surely had my run-ins with Filch when I was at Hogwarts, but the newspaper this morning was a disconcerting bit of news to read.
[Warded Private]There are times I think I should have done something a it more valuable with my life. I loved life in Romania and I certainly loved the idea of playing Quidditch even if I never got round to it, but what Ron does, for instance, is a lot more meaningful in the giant scheme of things. At least during the war those of us in the Order could do something, even if it wasn't what the Aurors and Hitwizards were up to -- sometimes it meant something more.
Not to say I'm wishing the war back either. I think I need to just stop writing here since I'm not certain I'm making much sense.
How does one get this far into one's life and still remain somewhat uncertain what one's doing with it? Sometimes I think I ought not to have come back from Romania. I knew what I was doing there, and even if it wasn't quite what Mum or Dad thought I ought to be doing, it was comfortable. Now I'm back here doing a completely different job, that I enjoy certainly, but I don't love it in the same way I did working with dragons. I've got a girlfriend, but there's some uncertainty about how serious either of us are really.
I'm too old to have no clue. It's a bit rubbish.
[Weasleys, blood, adopted, and so on]I know a family round of Quidditch is usually our thing, but I was actually thinking after the incident I had at the Dwarf and everything else that's been that some brush up on stunners and some duelling club skills might not be amiss. Any takers?
